In Part 1 of this hantavirus series, Luis is joined by Dr. Ryan Relich and Dr. Stephanie Seifert for a deep dive into the world of hantaviruses. The conversation explores the basics of hantaviruses, including their ecology, rodent reservoirs, transmission, and the diseases they cause in humans. The guests also discuss Old World vs New World hantaviruses, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), environmental risk factors, climate influences, and why these infections may be underdiagnosed. From deer mice and spillover events to aerosol transmission and public health concerns, this episode breaks down the science behind these important zoonotic viruses in a practical and approachable way. Stay tuned next week for an episode where our guests talk about the Andes virus. &amp;nbsp; Stay updated: https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/hantavirus\/situation-summary\/index.html Stay connected with Let\u2019s Talk Micro:   Website: letstalkmicro.com   Questions or feedback?
